I've used an oval floor hoop and liked it, however I never found a good way to quilt the edges. I started exploring other frames and liked the looks of a Q-Snap but not the price because I know how inexpensive plastic pipe actually is. I found directions online to make my own from 3 10' lenghts of plastic pipe I bought at the lumber yard plus connectors and 24 plastic pipe clamps I purchased at a greenhouse supply store. I didn't glue it together so I can take it apart should I want to store it. The quilt still needs to be basted, but I don't mind doing that. I've quilted 1 1/2 twin-sized quilts and a throw on it so far and I couldn't be happier.
